Remotefx vgpu windows 7 on vmware esxi 6.7 update#
So other than keeping up with the latest and greatest there are some really good reasons to upgrade to vSphere 6.7 Update 1. Let’s get to upgrading! Why you should upgrade from vSphere 6.7 to vSphere 6.7 Update 1 Lucky for us I’m doing this in my lab and we have the luxury of throwing caution to the wind. In any production environment you should always do all of the above due diligence to ensure you have a successful and compatible upgrade process. While this process can be reversed if you take the right steps it’s not something you want to have to do if you don’t have to. The last situation you want to be in is one with an upgrade that isn’t supported by parts of your infrastructure. When in doubt, be thorough, check everything.Take a little time to read and save a headache later. READ THE RELEASE NOTES! Make sure you read the VMware vCenter Server 6.7 Update 1 Release Notes and the VMware ESXi 6.7 Update 1 Release Notes and check for any upgrade issues or even Known Issues in functionality.This could be a lot of things like Guest OS’s, applications with vSphere interactions or tie-ins, external devices or hardware connected to vSphere, logging, reporting/analytics applications and it doesn’t stop there. Make sure any third-party products support the upgrade.Check the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix to make sure the upgrade is supported for all VMware products you’re using and that you’re upgrading the components in the right order. Make sure any additional VMware products you’re using support the upgrade.Check the VMware Compatibility Guide before you upgrade. If you’re on vSphere 6.7 already this likely won’t be an issue for this particular upgrade but it’s always a good idea to check anyway. Make sure your hardware supports the upgrade.Veeam for example does not currently support vSphere 6.7 Update 1. Make sure your backup product supports the upgrade.The following list doubles as the due diligence or validation check that you should always do before an upgrade like this. Let’s explore a few of the notable reasons for not upgrading to vSphere 6.7 Update 1. You may not do this upgrade for a while in your own production environment of course due to a number of factors. Let’s dive in! Why you shouldn’t upgrade from vSphere 6.7 to vSphere 6.7 Update 1 VMware has really made it an incredibly simplistic process but it’s not without a few pitfalls and you should always make sure you’re ready for such an upgrade. I wanted to share how easy the process is to upgrade from vSphere 6.7 to vSphere 6.7 Update 1. My lab is ground zero for running the latest and greatest so of course, I immediately upgraded when it came out. Welcome and thanks for reading! As you probably know vSphere 6.7 Update 1 came out recently.
